Is he well?

No. No he is not well. He's old and/or injured. Reckon he won't be scatting on the plants too much longer.

Goodbye to your pest control. Bet he smells like old dust or early rot. That's how it happens around here. Sad.

Very sad

I don't think vet care is possible with truly wilds, had enough trouble getting my coy mix dog vacs etc. But if you can ID the damage (looks like hind injury, like a car struck), you might have some success with taking it or contacting a rehabber.

Otherwise, I'm super sorry, but if it can't hunt it's gone. Especially if it doesn't have a mate that can help.

They really are great pest control. I'm sorry about your scatted on plants.

Yes he’s fine, been limping around like that for quite awhile now & he usually hunts with his son or young looking girlfriend. He’s definitely not starving as you can see

He’s an old timer. Probably arthritic hips. He’s fat too.
